| Summary: | <p>It is well accepted that medicinal plants are involved with numerous properties that may be considered for new drug discoveries. This review encompasses medicinal and pharmacological activities of <em>Juniperus excelsa</em> M.Bieb (Family: Cupressaceae) to draw a frame for further research. Considering the terms "<em>Juniperus Excelsa</em>" and "Pharmacological Activity", the databases Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect were precisely searched up to early March of 2017 with the exception of agriculture and genetic-based science papers. Besides various ethnopharmacological properties, different parts of <em>J. excelsa</em> are shown to have distinct medicinal activities such as anti-microbial and anti-fungal, anti-parasite and anti leishmania, anti-oxidant and radical scavenging, cardiovascular, anti-diabetes, gastrointestinal, respiratory, wound healing, anti-angiogenic, immunomodulatory and antinociceptive, phytotoxic, cytotoxic activity, and therapeutic effect on cancer.</p> |
